Renewable Energy Uptake in Urban Latin America by Alexandra Mallett Pdf

This book explores the perplexing question of how to increase sustainable energy technology use in the developing world, and specifically focuses on two megacities within Latin America. Renewable Energy Uptake in Urban Latin America examines the market and uptake of two sustainable energy technologies (solar water heaters and biogas to produce electricity) in two locations, Mexico City, Mexico and São Paulo, Brazil in the 2000s. Drawing from three systems-based analytical frameworks – including one developed by the author for the purpose of this study – the book examines the varying factors affecting the implementation of renewable energy technologies (RETs) in urban Latin America. These frameworks emphasize the importance of examining socio-political dimensions; rather than conventional explanations that focus on technical and economic aspects only. By doing so, the research improves explanations about renewable energy technology (RET) adoption in the global South. These findings are useful for scholars, policy makers and practitioners working on RET adoption; resulting in a book which helps to inform wider debates regarding innovation, decarbonization, sustainability transitions and energy system change. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy transitions, energy policy, development studies and science and technology studies.

Energy Issues and Transition to a Low Carbon Economy by Francisco J. Lozano,Alberto Mendoza,Arturo Molina Pdf

Without energy, there is no well-functioning economy, besides facing social risks. This book provides a systemic approach to energy in Mexico and its relations to the USA arising from the energy reform of the former. It covers the transition from fossil fuels to a low-carbon economy, relying heavily on renewable sources and mitigating climate change risks. Several human knowledge disciplines and topics are covered in the book, including public policy, economics, transboundary issues, electricity and thermal energy, residual biomass use, distributed energy systems and its management, and decision-making tools. An analysis is considered regarding energy issues interaction in the Mexican-USA border, which differ in both countries from pricing and policy, and the work and research that has been developed for transboundary energy trade.

A Report on the Implementation of Smart Grids in Mexico by Riccardo Bracho,Ronald J. Binz,National Renewable Energy Laboratory Pdf

For the past four years, Mexico has been implementing its constitutional energy reform and transforming its electric power industry. Changes in law, regulation, and market structure are bringing forth new market participants and producing new levels of clean power with new technologies and expanded customer choices.In making these power sector reforms, Mexico has understood and addressed the central importance of a modernized grid. The energy sector reform laws establish a Smart Grid Program, thus committing to making Mexico's power grid capable of meeting the country's lofty clean energy goals while improving efficiencies, maintaining system reliability, and increasing its security. This Report on the Implementation of Smart Grids in Mexico responds to and complies with the new law requirements, and it is written in service of the goal of Mexico having a Smart Grid-Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes-with all the benefits such an investment can bring. This report comprises eight main sections, and it represents a compilation of data and information from many sources that document Mexico's progress in implementing a Smart Grid. The content for each section was developed with the participation of knowledge experts in each topic area, who are acknowledged above. Readers may want to view the report as a reference guide on the eight main topic areas that are presented. Before discussing each section of the report below, we offer an overall assessment.

Walmart de México by Jean Rosenthal,K. Geert,Isabel Studer-Noguez,Juan Carlos Pdf

Ranked as one of the world's leading retailers in the area of sustainability, Walmart de México had pledged to obtain 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2015. The company had already invested in a wind farm in Oaxaca that would supply 18% of its energy needs and the company was also considering solar and mini-hydroelectric projects. What technologies should Walmart de México employ to achieve its renewable energy goals? Should the company hold a portfolio of projects or just concentrate on one technology? This case study examines these issues.

Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation by Ottmar Edenhofer,Ramón Pichs Madruga Pdf

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources - bioenergy, solar, geothermal, hydropower, ocean and wind energy - as well as their integration into present and future energy systems. It considers the environmental and social consequences associated with the deployment of these technologies and presents strategies to overcome technical as well as non-technical obstacles to their application and diffusion. SRREN brings a broad spectrum of technology-specific experts together with scientists studying energy systems as a whole. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, it presents an impartial assessment of the current state of knowledge: it is policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. SRREN is an invaluable assessment of the potential role of renewable energy for the mitigation of climate change for policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.

Low-Carbon Development for Mexico by Todd M. Johnson,Claudio Alatorre,Zayra Romo,Feng Liu Pdf

To reduce the risk of climate change impacts it is necessary for the world to lower the carbon intensity of economic development. 'Low-Carbon Development for Mexico' estimates the net costs, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, and investment that would be needed to achieve a low-carbon scenario in Mexico to the year 2030. Among the key findings of the study are the following: Energy efficiency. Improving energy end-use efficiency in the industrial, residential, and public sectors is the least-cost option for reducing carbon emissions and can be achieved by accelerating current Mexican programs and policies. Supply efficiency and renewable energy. Mexico can lower the carbon intensity of the economy by improving the efficiency of energy supply in the electric power and petroleum industries, and by expanding the adoption of renewable energy technologies such as wind, biomass, small hydro, and geothermal. Public transport and vehicle fleet efficiency. Transport is the largest and fastest growing contributor of GHG emissions in Mexico, the majority of which comes from road transport. The greatest potential for reducing transport emissions lies with improving the quality and efficiency of urban transport, including more efficient vehicles and the design and organization of cities and public transport systems. Forestry significant potential with large co-benefits. Measures to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), along with afforestation and commercial plantations, are among the largest GHG mitigation options in Mexico, and could provide numerous social and environmental benefits in rural areas. By undertaking a limited number of low-carbon interventions that are technologically and financially viable today, Mexico could hold carbon emissions relatively constant over the coming two decades while maintaining a vigorous rate of economic and social development. The costs of such a program would be relatively modest, but would require a range of regulatory and institutional changes to achieve, especially in the energy and transport sectors.
